Book Synopsis
Garcilaso de la Vega (ca 1501-36) was a Castilian nobleman at the court of Charles V. As the first poet to make the Italian Renaissance lyric style at home in Spanish, he is credited with beginning the golden age of Spanish poetry. This title can help to explain to the English-speaking public this poet's preeminence.

Trade Review
"John Dent-Young has done something that I did not think possible: he has successfully rendered Garcilaso's verse in English in ways that capture its rhythm and grace, while at the same time conveying its sense with all the directness and elusiveness of the original. This edition stands to become the point of entry into the work of this classic Spanish poet for readers of English." - Ricardo Padron, University of Virginia"
